Christmas Parties

Things have been crazy here since  the beginning of December.  Russell and I have had several O'Charley's parties to go to, we've had breakfast with Santa at Jacelyn's school, and we went to a get together at my Aunts house for my mom's family Irelyn was overwhelmed with the whole thing hopefully she will get better at other parties.  I've been cleaning and baking like crazy this week getting ready for a party here on Friday.  We leave Saturday morning to head to Scottsburg for christmas with Russell's family then Sunday we have to be back here for christmas in Sheridan with my dad's family.  I love the holidays but I sometimes think we try to cram too much into a short time.  The high point is that we are not going anywhere on Christmas day.  We are going to Christmas Eve service at church then we will come home and decorate cookies for Santa, watch Polar Express, and read a christmas story or two.  Christmas morning we get up when the kids get us up and open presents then usually fix a big breakfast and then lay around and play with the new toys all day.  Here a some pictures that we took at my Aunts house, and Irelyn and Jacelyn with Santa.
